Student Health & Wellness Center

At the Student Health & Wellness Center, you will be seen by advanced practice clinicians (nurse practitioners and physician assistants) that assess and treat many common acute health conditions affecting the college health population, which may also be seen in a family physician's office.

In Virginia, Advanced Practice Clinicians can prescribe medications.

  • Smoking Policy

    The revised policy extends the "Smoke-Free" zone to include the majority of the campus. Smoking will now be permitted only in designated outdoor areas where smoking huts have been installed. Additional huts have been ordered - see Designated smoking areas (pdf).

    The new policy is designed to promote healthy lifestyles as well as to protect faculty, staff, and students from second-hand smoke, while addressing the growing litter problem on campus that is directly related to smoking.

    Learn more about the health effects of smoking and the benefits of quitting.
